Backup/Restore, the MRM - Multimedia Resource Manager and the PIM - Personal Information

Manager.

The Backup/Restore allows the user to make a backup of all the phone’s data (images, melodies,

contacts, sms, etc) and at any time restore them to the phone again. MRM will enable the user to

download (from Phone to PC) and upload (from PC to Phone) Images, Melodies, Movies and MP3,

whilst PIM will allow the user to manage the Phone Book, Schedule, ToDo, Notepad and depending on

the user’s phone model the Bookmark’s.

4 APPLICATION FUNCTIONALITY

This section contains a detailed description of the NEC Mobile Suite application, all its components and

features.

NEC Mobile Suite User Guide for N411i Rev 1.0 6/May/2005

4.1 Phone Selection

In order to start using the NEC Mobile Suite, the user can double click the NEC Mobile Suite icon on

the desktop (if this option was selected during the installation process) or select the item on the Start |

Programs | NEC Mobile Suite | NEC Mobile Suite.

Either way a Phone Selection screen will be presented to the user.

The user can then select one of the phones listed and press [OK] or press [Auto detect] so that the

correct phone can be detected. After that the NEC Mobile Suite application will be loaded.

NOTE: The Phone Selection screen will only be presented automatically the first time the NEC Mobile

Suite application is started after the installation. It can be recalled at any time through the Systray

menu – explained in detail in the next section (4.2).

4.2 The Communication Service - systray icon

The Comms Service icon (located in the tray containing the system clock) will be visible after the NEC

Mobile Suite application is started and it will remain there even if the NEC Mobile Suite application is

closed. It can be closed by right clicking choosing Exit.

The icon will look like this:

NEC Mobile Suite User Guide for N411i Rev 1.0 6/May/2005

Below is a sample of the Comms Service menu that the user can easily access by right clicking on it.

 The first line, XXXX connected on COMx, indicates which is the phone model (XXXX) and in

which PORT (COMx) it was detected. If no phone is connected the text “No phone

connected” will be displayed.

 The second, third and fourth line, Personal Information Manager, Multimedia Resource

Manager and Backup/Restore, allow the user to start these applications within the NEC

Mobile Suite (they can be loaded at the same time).

 Phone selection loads the screen with the same name already discussed above.

 Configure COM port enables the user to set manually the COM port used to communicate

with the Phone. By default all existing COM ports are listed. When the user connects a phone

using a USB port, this last is added to the list. The list is only updated when the user accesses

it.

 About brings up a screen where the user can verify the software version of each NEC Mobile

Suite module (PIM & MRM), the Comms Service and the NEC Mobile Suite itself.

 Exit closes the Comms Service, along with the NEC Mobile Suite if it’s opened.

The systray icon can assume 5 status forms:

No phone connected

Phone connected

Auto detecting phone

Data transfer in progress

Manual port changed. It’s not yet confirmed if the selected port is valid.

Each of these status forms will be discussed later.

corresponding icons, on the left. The module will be opened on the right side of the application window.

4.3.1 Backup/Restore

The Backup/Restore (bellow) provides a way to save all data from a phone into a file on the PC that

can be restored (inserted back into the phone) at any time. As it can be seen Contacts, Schedule,

ToDo, Melodies, Pictures, Movies, SMS/EMS and depending on the user’s phone model MMS and e-

mail or i-mode are the available data for these operations.

4.3.1.1 Backup

The user starts by selecting which kind of data is to be backed up by ticking the boxes on the left side.

The Select All option will tick all boxes. After this, clicking on the [Backup] button (or File | Backup) will

show a Save As screen where the user selects the name and location of the backup file. Pressing

[Save] will initiate the backup process, which can be monitored on the right side of the Backup/Restore

window (blank box). When finished, all the ticked boxes on the Backup side will be also ticked in the

Restore side.

The user can now make a full restore (all that was backed up) or only choose some of the data,

unselecting those not required to restore.

As stated above, depending on the user’s phone model, the options presented may be the following:

NEC Mobile Suite User Guide for N411i Rev 1.0 6/May/2005

4.3.1.2 Restore

To restore the data (from a backup file) into the phone the user must click on the [Open] button (or

File | Open) and select a backup file. After confirming the file, all the boxes corresponding to the

backed up data will be ticked. The user may untick items if they are not to be restored. To initiate the

process click on the [Restore] button (or on File | Restore). The process can be monitored on the right

side of the Backup/Restore window (the blank area in the design above).

NEC Mobile Suite User Guide for N411i Rev 1.0 6/May/2005

4.3.2 Multimedia Resource Manager – MRM

The MRM environment can be seen in the image below. The MRM manages the Images, Melodies,

Movies and MP3 resources, and provides the user a way to transfer both from the Phone to the PC

and vice-versa. A detailed explanation of how it works, what features it provides will now be presented.

All this information will be given for the Image resources, because the Melodies, Movies and MP3

resources work exactly the same way.
